I'm not hating on people who listen to dubstep but man it's a total turn off. Just my opinion. | ||

I tried listening to every youtube clip in this thread but I don't feel anything listening to this music, I don't experience anything and it just seems like a bunch of blips and swooshy noises, in my view disappointing. Edit: maybe it's better with drugs? | ||

My problem is the fact that it sorta loses itself in its own genre definition and there's not a lot of re-imagining going on. They could tap into some other genres like power noise or aggro or even pull it back a little more into melodic/ambient and waft some fresh vapors into the whole thing. As it is now I consider Dubstep to be to Techno what Country/Western is to Rock. | ||

By the way even when many people don't even recognize it as Dubstep these days, Burials first album "Burial" was recognized as the first true Dubstep album by many critics and listeners! It kinda shows how dubstep without climaxes work, and this might actually be considered the original form of dubstep. Very much opposed to that, Hardstyle on the other hand always has a climax, since it basically lives off climaxes. | ||

By being defined in that genre any of the creativity that the person making it becomes limited within that genre. This is why I hate specific genres and subgenres of music. It severely restricts artists creativity. It happens very often in metal and popular country. It's actually really bad in metal.What you're misunderstanding is that the classic composers that didn't have a "formal education" still understanded the fundamentals of composing and their creativity blows any kind of modern dubstep garbage out of the water. I'm not just hating on dubstep, the music industry and easily satisfied minds have turned away from what's truly good in music and are just looking for "the next big thing" so to speak. Check out Morbid Angel. They're credited with being one of the catalysts for American death metal. If you ask them what their style is they say "oh we're just a regular metal band, that's all. We play what the fuck we want to as long as it's heavy and brutal." Look at discography reviews and you have fans who love the first album but hate the rest because they didn't make five copies of that first album. Like dude, if you want to listen to a band that never changes their sound and can't ever top their hit album within those limits, listen to Slayer. An easier example is Metallica. They they put out Fade to Black on Ride the Lightning and fans are "uh, what is this girly shit we can't like this it! But the rest of the album slays so that's ok...forgiven." Then Black Album comes out? They're done. Alienated the fans who wanted to restrict what would be acceptable for them to play. But in their case they went where there would be more fans. Anyways. This is happening right now in dubstep albeit in a different almost opposite way. The pressure to make dubstep a specific way so that it is a hit with fans is so great that rarely are people experimenting with it anymore. You have old dubstep fans who have been into it for the last ten years. Then the last 3 when it got popular all the dubstep changed into one specific sound and rarely goes outside those borders. Boring, and that's why it generates hate. | ||

I haven't really heard many songs with some anticlimax, but instead I have parts in songs that really ruin it for me and just makes me wonder what happened. Totally awesome at 1:45 and forth. 2:12, here it comes, hold on! 2:19, what is this I don't even... That small, bright melody that comes in just kills it for me. It always make me shake my head in disappointment. Sweet song otherwise! | ||
